Because of a reporting error, a story about addiction that appeared on Page A1 of Saturday's Times contained inaccurate statistics. The amount of money spent in Massachusetts in 2005 on the consequences of addiction was $4.5 billion while the amount spent on treatment, prevention and research was only about $66 million, according to a study by CASA, a Columbia University-based research organization.
